A group of forest enthusiasts and I visited the old growth forest in Grant county last last week. This came about because of a discussion a group of us had after a Forestry Webinar series a couple of years ago. We were interested in seeing what forest looked like that contained really large species. Dr. Tom Barnes suggested we go to Lloyds Wildlife Management Area because of its close proximity and its collection of really large and diverse population of trees. He was right there were some impressive trees on the property. It was apparent however that the forest had taken a rather big setback as a result of the ice storm a few years back. The property is about 1100 acres and has a marked trail that loops through the woods.
On that note now is the time to begin planning those spring wildflower walks. We noticed a number of tiny wildflowers flourishing in the woodlands at this early part of the season. Always look down when your not looking up in the woodlands,there is a lot you can miss when you're missing something else.
